This volume of Encyclopaedia Islamica is the first of a projected 16-volume publication, consisting of an abridged and edited translation of the Persian Da irat al-Maarif-i Buzurg-i Islami , one of the most comprehensive sources on Islam and the Muslim world. One unique feature of this work of reference lies in the attention it gives to Shii Islam and its rich and diverse heritage, which makes it complementary to other encyclopaedias.

This volume of Encyclopaedia Islamica is the first of a projected 16-volume publication, consisting of an abridged and edited translation of the Persian Da irat al-Maarif-i Buzurg-i Islami, one of the most comprehensive sources on Islam and the Muslim world. One unique feature of this work of reference lies in the attention it gives to Shii Islam and its rich and diverse heritage, which makes it complementary to other encyclopaedias. In addition to providing entries on important themes, subjects and personages in Islam generally, it offers the western reader an opportunity to appreciate the various dimensions of Shii Islam, the Persian contribution to Islamic civilisation, and the spiritual dimensions of the Islamic tradition.

Rezensionen
"Clearly the editors of ISLA have selected articles they consider will augment the existing reference sources - and they have completed this selection task with acumen and skill. The work as a whole remains, however, a "specialist encyclopaedia" [...] - or perhaps more accurately, it is an encyclopaedia for specialists [...]. In that sense, it is a valuable addition [...] to the reference work available at present. Perhaps its greatest merit is that it brings to an international audience a key example of and an excellent advertisement for high-quality Iranian scholarship which has hitherto been available but known only to a few."
Robert Gleave in Journal of the American Oriental Society , 130. 1 (Jan-Mar 2010), P. 111-113.

"Une encyclopédie produite dans un pays musulman peut soulever, dans l'esprit des spécialistes occidentaux, qui ont appris à séparer religion et savoir, des suspicions bien légitimes quand il s'agit d'art. touchant aux questions religieuses. Ce premier volume prouve que le doute peut être levé à ce sujet. Des art. sensibles comme celui consacré à l'oncle paternel du Prophète, al-'Abbas, converti de la dernière heure, démontrent que les A. et les É. de la version anglaise ont bien compris la portée d'un ouvrage de ce genre. En conclusion, il s'agit d'un remarquable complément et supplément à la traditionnelle Encyclopédie de l'Islam des orientalistes qui trouvera sa place sur les étagères des meilleures bibliothèques du monde entier.
Frédéric BAUDEN in Le Moyen Âge , CXIX (2013).
